How to automatically version dependencies while using maven-publish with platform dependencies in gradle?

edit

To automatically version dependencies while using maven-publish with platform dependencies in Gradle, you can use the GenerateModuleMetadata task. Here are the steps:

1. Make sure you have the maven-publish plugin added to your Gradle project:

   plugins {
      id 'maven-publish'
   }
   

2. Define your platform dependencies in the dependencies block:

   dependencies {
      implementation platform('org.example:platform:1.0')
      implementation 'org.example:library'
   }
   

3. Configure the publishing block to use the maven-publish plugin:

   publishing {
      publications {
          mavenJava(MavenPublication) {
              from components.java
          }
      }
      repositories {
          maven {
              url 'http://your-maven-repo'
          }
      }
   }
   

4. Add the GenerateModuleMetadata task to automatically version the platform dependency:

   tasks.named("generateMetadataFileForMavenJavaPublication") {
      enabled = true
      outputs.upToDateWhen { false }
   }
   
   publishing {
      publications {
          mavenJava(MavenPublication) {
              from components.java
   
              // Automatically version the platform dependency
              pom {
                  withXml {
                      def dependenciesNode = asNode().appendNode("dependencies")
                      configurations.compileClasspath.allDependencies.each { dependency ->
                          if (dependency instanceof PlatformDependency) {
                              def depNode = dependenciesNode.appendNode("dependency")
   
                              depNode.appendNode("groupId", dependency.group)
                              depNode.appendNode("artifactId", dependency.name)
                              depNode.appendNode("version", dependency.version)
                              depNode.appendNode("scope", "import")
                          }
                      }
                  }
              }
          }
      }
   }
   

With this setup, the GenerateModuleMetadata task will automatically version the platform dependency in the generated POM file. When you run ./gradlew publish, the POM file with the updated dependency will be published to your Maven repository.
